G. G. King, the milk man, was working
about his yard, and his little fodder was
playing about him. All at once he missed
the child. He thought of the cistern, hur-
ried to it and looked in; saw the water was
riled, dove down just in time to rescue his
child and straightvay put in pump.-Dopd-
gidc Times. No well regulated milk man
could be expected to do a successful business
without pump, anyhow.

The picnic given by the Gale Sabbath

partook Of a basket dinner, and had just

where Miss Violet had them in training
when one strolled to place where there
was quite depth Of water with mucky
bottom, and she became so completely fast
ened in the mud that she could not possibly
extricate herself. Some of the ladies' pro-
cured a boat and, after vainly trying to res
cue her, gave an alarm and called several
men from the village, who came to their aid
and soon had the fair damsel on terra irma.
She thinks when she takes her next lesson
she shall select a place with firm bottom tt it

rills saloon, the man behind the counter had
just filled glass for customer, and when
the officers rushed in he attempted to smash
a pitcher full of whiskey against the wall,
but Officer Norton caught it very deftly in
his hands, part of the liquor thoroughly
wetting him. Upwards of 10 gallons of
liquor have been seized in Gardiner within a
month past, and nine dealers in the forbid
den liquors have suffered 1t is expected

THE sAco ROBBERY.
Depositors in the Bank Called on to
Present Their Books.

SAco, Sept. 3.-Bank Examiner Richards
and his assistant Arthur w. Merrill son of
Cashier Merrill of Pennington, have been in
the bank all day at work upon their investi-
cation of the amount of loss the institution
has sustained through McNeally's robbery.
A notice has been issued to depositors to
bring in their deposit books at once, for COM
parison with the books of the bank. In this
way alone can be discovered any dishonesty
in McNeally's past work, providing he had
practiced any underhand action in connec-
tion with the receipt Of deposits. Whether
any loss will be discovered Hthrough this
source remains for the coming week or
month to determine. Treasurer Kelly ex-
presses the belief that McNeally's accounts
will reveal no evidence of embez element.
"Of course" said he, 'a depositor might
have deposited money when Frank was at
the desk, and he have put the sum in his
own pocket, making the necessary entry up
on the depositors book, without making a
record of the receipt upon the office books.
But do not think he would have dared to
undertake such step for it was sure to lead
to immediate detection. For instance, if he
had received sum from dep0Sitor without
making an entry Of it, the very next time
the depositor handed in his book / would

no loss has been suffered by the institution
from such a course"
United States Marshal Harmon was in Sa-
co this afternoon. 1t is his opinion that Nc
Neatly had an accomplice in the robbery,
some one who. could help do the planning
and assist in disposing Of the bonds. He
thinks the clerk is in Canada and will give
the detectives hard time to find him. "He
went into this affair with determination, +"
SAID the marshal. "and he will never be TAX

The Last Accounts.
SAco, Sept. 4.-Nothing has yet been
heard from Frank c. McNeally, the default
ihg clerk of the Saco & Biddeford Savings
Institution. All sorts of rumors have been
in circulation today, but each was without
foundation. Everybody seems confident
that he will be captured. A long time will
he reouired for Bank Examiner Richards to
complete his investigation. A few believe
that McNeally had an accomplice in the
crime, but the theory is not generally cred.
